West Penn Wire 25227BGY0500 12/2 Plenum Audio Cable 500ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25227BGY0500 is a 12/2 stranded plenum-rated audio cable supplied in a 500-foot quantity. This cable is constructed for use in air-handling spaces where building and fire codes require plenum-rated materials. The stranded conductor configuration provides flexibility during pulls through conduit or open plenum spaces. Electricians and low-voltage installers rely on this cable type for distributed audio systems, background music wiring, and commercial sound reinforcement infrastructure where code compliance is non-negotiable.

This cable is suited for commercial and light commercial installations where audio signal distribution runs through plenum ceilings or air-return spaces. The 12 AWG conductor size supports longer cable runs with reduced resistive loss, making it a practical choice for contractor-grade sound system wiring in offices, retail spaces, houses of worship, and similar venues. The 500-foot spool length supports larger projects and reduces the need for mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 12 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and reduced resistance over longer runs
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for standard audio speaker wiring
• Plenum-rated construction meets fire and building code requirements for air-handling spaces
• 500-foot continuous spool length reduces field splicing on larger installations
• Gray jacket for identification in multi-cable installations

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated audio cable for use in commercial distributed audio and background music systems requiring code-compliant wiring in air-handling spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes governing plenum-rated wiring. De-energize any active circuits in the work area before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can damage stranded conductors during pulls. Plenum-rated cable must not be substituted with non-plenum cable in air-handling spaces.
